John Jewel was an English bishop of Salisbury. He studied at Oxford, and in 1546 openly professed the tenets of the Reformers. Having obtained the living of Sunningwell, Berks, he distinguished himself by his zeal and assiduity as a parish priest, but at the accession of Queen Mary, to avoid persecution as a heretic, he escaped to the Continent and became vice-master of a college at Strasbourg.

He wrote several works against popery; the principal 'An apology for the Church of England', was translated into every European language, and had more effect, it was said, in promoting the Reformation than any other book ever published. Jewell died in 1571.
